The only way to stop having corrupt politicians is to stop voting for them.

Shitfire, This Site is Worth Checking Out!

PeaceFire is hip! Check them the fuck out! Elude the brain cops and expand your mind.
So, as a much-over-18-person who works at home and has a big fat personal DSL pipe to the Innurnet, I really rarely worry about Web censoring software. After all, why should I care? Doesn't affect me.
But I realize that there are tons and tons of people out there without a good connection to the Web they control. They depend on mucked up organizations like their companies or their local libraries to get data. And they're getting fuX0red by censorware!
Considering that the Federal Government has just mandated censorware for all public libraries and schools (!!!), it's really a little disturbing. Why the hell would you go look for stuff on the Internet if it was "good" stuff? Who wants that kind of info? What you need is info on BAD stuff -- bad politics, bad sex, bad drugs, bad ideas, bad explosives. That's what it's all about, baby! Not goody-good floral arrangement pages and Britney Spears fansites!
Anyhow, this PeaceFire.org site has lots of cool info on disabling buggered-up censoring programs. They even have a brilliant motto: "It's not a crime to be smarter than your parents." Hell, of COURSE it's not a crime -- it's practically a NECESSITY.
So go check out PeaceFire.org and get around some roadblocks on your path to Innurnet info freedom. Screw the mind cops!

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

It was early in May last year when I first heard about Spock Mountain Research Labs. I was working on a story about a Hungarian scientist's new approach to nucleopeptide synthesis when I got a call from my friend Albert. (More...)
The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)

The One I Feel Sorry For Is Joses
We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
